  I made these Sunday Morning as a mothers day treat. Really easy to make and tasted lovely especially the icing. I didn't have any chocolate coated coffee beans so just used good old walnuts. They went down a storm. Will be making these again and can see them being a firm favourite.

  Oh, so yummy! I too had no little chocolate beans but I did chop up some walnuts and add them to the cake mix - as well as popping one on top of each! As I said, YUMMY!

  Has someone made an error with this recipe and written 2 tbsp of instant espresso rather than 2 tsp? Just seemed an awful lot of coffee to use, especially as the icing recipe only uses 2 tsp of espresso? I made the cakes with 2 tsp instant espresso and 1 tbsp water and they came out lovely! The icing is delicious and finishes the cakes off brilliantly. Have made some for family for christmas.
